Go Big Red!!

 

[DoctorWho85]

There's some decent match ups this weekend. Not great, but decent.

 

[ktuck911]

Get your popcorn ready.. Honestly, it's nice to see so many games available to watch...

 

[Exit 4]

Guess I might want to see some of that Fresno state game. Scouting for 2021.

The one CONSTANT (I emphasize that word on purpose) with a Fresno State team is their front 7 plays on D... Strong.... We better be getting ready.... We can't go there consistently playing a step behind.. We can't play scared.. We better be ready...

Boiler Up!

 

[Palatine]

Welcome back Big Ten. That should spice up the weekend.

 

[Exit 4]

The boiler game gives us a Diaco and Coyle watch.

Chances are they will win many more games in West Lafayette than in East Hartford

Yeah- because Diaco was awful

Curious to see if New Canaan's Mike Collins who portalled out of TCU last December to Rice as a grad transfer has landed as the starting QB this weekend. Looked yesterday, didn't see anything....didn't look very hard though.

He was announced as the starting QB versus MTSU this weekend.

Game time!

Graham Mertz....wow!!!

#1 Clemson 27 Syracuse 21 3rd Q - What is it about Cuse and their ability to give Clemson fits?

It’s the uniform colors

 

[traitor71]

It’s the uniform colors

Just the damndest thing. You see this in sports sometimes where one team always seems to give another one fits, even when they have no business competing with them.

And of course as soon as I mention it, Clemson breaks it open. 47-21 now.

 

[Tdaley]

Coyle is listed as a backup safety on Purdue's depth chart. Did anyone see Purdue's game today? I am interested to find how much playing time Coyle got.

Crazy ending to Penn State - Indiana. Definitely a game of inches. Or millimeters.

Crazy ending to Penn State - Indiana. Definitely a game of inches. Or millimeters.

Talk about a game of inches. When IU flubbed the squib I thought they were dead. Then PSU just missed a 57 yard winning field goal by 6 inches. Then the game ending 2pt convert in OT could have gone either way.

 

[BugsyCT]

PSU could have run the clock out at 21-20 if their RB remembered to go down at the 1 yd line.
